Now that my anxiety is somewhat controlled and I am feeling more confident and venturing out of the house, I find myself lonelier than ever.
When I was suffering I would hide out in my room all day, was unable to drive and never ventured out of the house alone. The thing is. I never felt lonely, never craved human interaction or missed social activities during this time.
I’m taking this feeling of being lonely as a positive sign and not a negative one. Do others feel the same way?
Yeah, I was in a better place when I started wanting to reach out to people. This isn’t about me, I know, but I’m mildly psychotic right now and I miss all the social things I got to do when I was normal. Now I’m limited to seeing supportive people at day treatment once a week and just being left to my own devices the rest of the week. Too busy being paranoid to see people much, though it still makes me happy when I do.
